A little diversion (Tim)

Our ferry crossing doesn't go until about 11:00 tonight so there was no rush for me to get on the road today.
As luck would have it, today is the day that dad was planning on picking up his own scooter engine from Scooter Surgery in London - so this seemed like a perfect way to spend some father and son time.
Scooter Surgery tends to specialise in Lambrettas - and I know very little about Lambrettas. But I was soon to learn that I am probably never going to be able to afford one - which is a shame because they are rather beautiful.
We had a lovely time with Patrick and Maude chatting in the sunshine about the relative merits of Lambrettas and Vespas. Maude left me with a warning about riding in Italy "Be careful, they come right up on you and leave you no space". It hasn't dampened my spirits :-)
